the changed behavior of autoconf trunk was not intentional; it's because commit 2b59b6f8a79b8bf77e178ff4e5aa0ede433d39cf missed a direct use of $as_echo in _AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL, causing _AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL *not to work at all*!
Thanks for catching that. I looked into the history of that part of Autoconf and it appears the string is being echoed only for historical reasons. So I installed the attached to bypass the need for using $as_echo or equivalent.
